by from Review: Decent headset. Its my backup. Sound is good, but the cushions are a little stiff. Great headset for a student pilot or weekend warrior. Might get a little uncomfortable all day. I do like the boom on this though much better than my David Clark headsets that you need a screw driver to tighten down.

It stays in the plane in case I find myself by the airport without my bag and want to hit the pattern for a bit. Great headset for the price, the kids, or a backup.

Simple and works well by Rick from Spring Hill TN USA Pros: Great valueCons: no consReview: I have a Lightspeed NR headset and I love it. I wanted a lower cost headset as backup and for passengers who do not fly very often. I ran into a pilot friend at a local airport and he loaned my daughter a Rugged Air headset and she liked it so I decided I'd go with that. I ordered the RA200 and also ordered the gel ear seals. I had the spare headset several weeks and my daughter loves it. Today I decided to use the RA200 for myself. I was very pleasantly surprised. The sound quality was excellent and the gel ear seals were very comfortable. I barely missed the noise reduction from my Lightspeed headset and I didn't have to fiddle with an extra control box. I would highly recommend this product.

Don't run just because of the price by John C-175 from Oregon Pros: Easily adjusted and comfortableCons: keep the volume control down for less feedback issuesReview: Obviously these are not Noise reduction, fancy $1000 headsets, but I read the reviews and decided to buy two pairs for these for the back seat passengers... I thought "what the heck, how can you go wrong for passenger head sets". I changed them over to the gel ear pads and I loved the comfort level... I find myself using them and not my normal pair so Now I am buying one more set so the whole plane will match

Good Starter Headset, but do your research. by John from Grand Forks, ND Pros: Cheap, Do what they are designed to do, Durable, Simple to use, Good passenger headset when your done with themCons: Cheap, Uncomfortable on longer flights, Still loud on twinsReview: I bought these two years ago as a student pilot at UND, with the intention of upgrading once I had my licenses and ratings. They are a good starter headset for someone dipping their toes into aviation and are not sure if they want to spend the money on a top level passive set (i.e. David Clark's H10-13.4), or one of the premium ANR options (Bose, Lightspeed, etc.).

These do the job they are designed to do, go up for 1-2 hours on training flight and bring you back down.. They are indestructible (getting thrown around in my car and constantly in and out of airplanes), they do a good job reducing noise in a Cessna 172 and Piper Warrior, however, they leave a bit to be desired when flying noisier training twins like the Seminole. The mic isn't amazing but it does the trick, and the volume is adjustable. Comfort-wise, they are good for 1-2 hour training flights, but anything over 2 hours can be uncomfortable.

In the end, they work well for what I needed them for, but once you are serious about flying regularly, upgrade to a better headset.

Good price for noise isolating headphones by Jason from Fincastle, VA USA Pros: blocks out outside noiseCons: sound quality for music is only slighly better than averageReview: Overall a good deal. I'm using these in the cab of our enclosed farm tractor. I have a headphone preamp on the output of the in-dash stereo system. I didn't need the mic or the adjustable volume knob, but really needed something rugged and closed ear (to block out noise from the outside).I rate sound quality a 6 out of 10, so better than average, but they're no high sonic fidelity musical earphones. Again, as long as they last in the hard environment, I'll be happy.If you don't have the headset adjusted perfectly for your head, you will find they are a bit uncomfortable. They do squeeze your head pretty tight, but the band is metal, so gently stretching it out in addition to adjusting it helps. You need a wrench to adjust them, so once it's set, someone else can't easily pick them up if they have a different head size. Not a real big deal for us.

Stretch them overnight on a soccer ball by A Customer from Review:
Right out of the box this headset was a skull crusher for me. I just stretched them overnight on a soccer ball and then they fit better than my david clark. I have been using them for a month now and absolutely love them. The mic is sensitive and sound is extremely clear.

I like to use cloth ear covers to not feel the vacuum. The david clark soft ear covers fit much better on this headset compared to the generic ones.

Crisp sound and snug fit on the ears, no hotspots whatsoever. I just can't adjust it to exactly fit my head (i got a small head), anyways it does the job.

I am a student pilot and wanted my own headset. The headsets that my aero club has for use are david clark which are nice I would never say anything bad about them other than the price but as you could imagine they are well used and are not like new anymore. So I saw these Rugged for a good deal and thought why not give them a try, if they are good I win and if not I am not out much money. And lets just say I won, this headset works great and doesn't hurt my ears around my glasses. They also do a great job of keeping out outside noise. Recommend buy for those with a tight budget!!!

The first set arrived and the mic didn't work. This was verified by trying the headset at two different crew stations and in two different aircraft. I contacted Rugged and they sent me a return shipping label and I returned the unit. The second unit sent to me went from bad to worse - I couldn't hear or talk on this one. Again, this was confirmed by trying the unit at different crew stations. I called Rugged and they readily agreed to refund my money. I have since purchased a DC unit.
